Offshore Fishing
12-hour offshore charter targeting wahoo, tuna, and snapper species.60+ miles into Gulfstream waters aboard 32' Boston Whaler.All gear, bait, and licenses included for 4 guests.
When serious anglers talk about the ultimate offshore fishing experience in Florida, they're talking about a trip like this. The Reel Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters' 12-hour Gulfstream adventure takes you over 60 miles offshore into some of the most productive waters on the East Coast. This isn't your typical half-day charter – we're talking about a full-day commitment to chasing pelagic species in the deep blue, where the Gulf Stream current creates a highway for migrating fish and the water temperature jumps from coastal cool to tropical warm in just a few miles. You'll be fishing aboard a 32' Boston Whaler, a boat specifically chosen for its ability to handle long offshore runs while keeping you comfortable and stable even when the seas pick up.
This world-class fishing charter starts before dawn with a long run out to the Gulfstream edge, where the magic happens. The boat's twin engines will eat up those 60+ miles in good time, but don't expect to sleep on the way out – watching the water change color from green inshore water to that deep cobalt blue of the Stream is something every angler should experience. Once we hit the fishing grounds, your captain will read the water, looking for temperature breaks, weed lines, and bird activity that signal feeding fish. The beauty of this 12-hour format is flexibility – we can troll the blue water for pelagics in the morning when they're most active, then transition to bottom fishing over structure when the bite slows. With only 4 anglers maximum, everyone gets plenty of rod time and personal attention from the crew. All your gear, bait, and fishing licenses are included, so you can focus on what matters most – putting fish in the boat.
The captain runs a mixed-bag approach that maximizes your chances at different species throughout the day. Trolling starts with a spread of ballyhoo, cedar plugs, and diving plugs pulled at varying depths to cover the water column where wahoo, mahi, and tuna cruise. The boat's outriggers allow for a wide spread that won't tangle, even when multiple fish hit simultaneously. When we locate structure or wrecks, it's time to break out the bottom rigs – heavy sinkers, circle hooks, and cut bait that'll reach grouper and snapper holding tight to the reef. The 32' Boston Whaler's design shines here, with enough beam to fish multiple anglers comfortably and sufficient fuel capacity to run hard all day without range anxiety. Electronics onboard include quality fish finders and GPS units that pinpoint productive spots, while the boat's stability makes fighting large fish much more manageable than smaller offshore platforms.
Mahi Mahi, also known as Common Dolphinfish, are the crown jewel of Gulfstream fishing and a customer favorite for good reason. These brilliant gold and green fish are pure dynamite on the end of a line, jumping repeatedly and making blistering runs that'll test your drag system. Mahi are most active during warmer months from late spring through early fall, often found around floating debris, weed lines, or temperature breaks where baitfish concentrate. Schools of smaller "schoolies" weighing 5-15 pounds are common, but bull mahi over 30 pounds show up regularly and provide battles you'll talk about for years. What makes mahi special isn't just their fight – they're also phenomenal table fare, with firm white meat that's perfect for grilling or making fish tacos.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of runs that'll strip line faster than almost any other fish in the ocean. These torpedo-shaped predators patrol the Gulfstream edges year-round but peak during cooler months when they're more aggressive. A typical wahoo ranges from 20-50 pounds, with fish over 60 pounds always possible. They hit trolled baits with incredible violence, often jumping completely out of the water on the initial strike. Wahoo are notoriously sharp-toothed, requiring wire leaders, but their incredible speed and acrobatic fights make them a top target for serious offshore anglers. As a bonus, wahoo steaks are among the best eating fish in the ocean – firm, mild, and perfect for the grill.

This 32-foot Boston Whaler center console is built for serious offshore fishing in Florida's deep waters. Twin 300HP Suzuki engines push this boat to 45 knots, getting you to the prime fishing grounds fast and keeping you comfortable during those long runs to the Gulfstream. The center console design gives all six anglers plenty of room to work whether you're trolling for wahoo and tuna or dropping lines for snapper and grouper. Essential gear includes GPS navigation, radar for when visibility drops, and fish finder technology to locate the best spots. An onboard icebox keeps your catch fresh and drinks cold during the full day out there. The boat also features a head for convenience on these extended trips. This setup handles the big offshore waters with stability and speed, perfect for targeting pelagic species in the deep blue or working the reefs for bottom fish.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are some of the most beautiful fish you'll see out here, with brilliant gold sides and electric blue-green backs that light up like a rainbow when they're fighting. These guys typically run 15-29 pounds and love hanging around floating debris, weedlines, and current edges in the warm Gulf Stream waters. Peak season here in Florida runs July through November when they're most active. What makes them special is that explosive strike and acrobatic fight - they'll jump, tail-walk, and put on a real show. Plus, the meat is outstanding - firm, white, and sweet. Pro tip: when you see frigate birds working over floating debris, get your lines out fast. Mahi school up under anything floating, and where there's one, there's usually more.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of the deep - hitting 60 mph and built like bullets with razor-sharp teeth. These sleek fish average 3-5 feet but can get massive, with that distinctive blue-striped silver body. They cruise the open Gulf Stream waters, usually solo or in small groups around 60+ feet deep. Here in Florida, July through November is prime time when they're feeding heavy. What gets anglers hooked is that blistering initial run - nothing hits a trolled bait harder or faster. The meat is phenomenal too - white, flaky, and mild like premium tuna. Here's the key: high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders is essential since they'll slice right through mono. Those teeth aren't just for show, and you'll lose more fish to cutoffs than anything else if you're not prepared.
